A grizzled veteran of the coding arts

Hello, world! My name is Ryan Heldt -- I'm what some people call a full-stack developer
residing in a hamlet-sized community in central Iowa. I have a knack for developing web
sites, web applications, and for mobile and the desktop. With over 20 years of real-world
experience, I've built everything from simple websites to multitier distributed applications,
content management systems, e-commerce platforms, and more.

Most of my work in recent years has been with Microsoft tools and technologies
(.NET, SQL Server, Visual Studio, and the like), but I do hold an Adobe Certified
Expert designation in ColdFusion, and have over 15 years of experience with the
platform. There's also been the occasional dalliance in PHP and Java over the years,
but please don't hold that against me.

Qbasic / QuickBasic User Interface Stuff

When I was in high school, I liked to toy about in Qbasic and later QuickBasic. During that
time, I wrote a handful of user interface functions. I really don’t know if they’re of use to
anyone or not, but maybe someone will get a kick out of them.
